...Synopsis...

A belt of enhanced mid-level flow will spread across the Northern

Rockies from an upper low across the northwestern US today. A

cold frontal passage will bring rainfall across much of eastern

Montana and Wyoming this morning. Behind the cold front, a dry

continental air mass will overspread this region into the western

Dakotas, with relative humidity dropping as low as 15 percent amid

sustained winds 20-25 mph. Fuels within southern Montana into the

western Dakotas, where less rainfall is forecast, are sufficiently

dry to carry risk of Elevated fire weather concerns.
